RL,
interesting that you have seen some 'scarily fit' youngsters of late, but the Army are having to do some serious remedial training of their recruits to help them achieve entry standards let alone AFT standards.
However, I agree that this is (yet) another hoop to jump through, I would like to hope that the Service's medical support was going to be up to scratch with the problems that enforced jockstrappery may well induce? Or is that another thread.....Taxi!
